New projects are still coming from the late American rapper XXXTentacion a year after his death.
The trailer for a documentary about the slain rapper dropped Tuesday (18.06.19) on the one-year anniversary of the day he was gunned down in an apparent robbery as he left a motorsports store in Florida.
The slightly more than 40-second clip finds the performer, who was born Jahseh Onfroy, speaking some eerily prophetic words.
“There’s definitely a difference between Jahseh Onfroy and XXXTentacion,” he says in the trailer. “This is the story, this is the full story, this is the last time I’ma tell it.”
The rapper’s estate also announced a posthumous album is set to come. No dates have been released for either the new music or the documentary.
Last week Forbes reported that his single “Sad!” had passed the 1 billion-stream mark on Spotify, reported CNN.
“Now that ‘Sad!’ has joined that still-exclusive club, XXXTentacion has become the first musician to posthumously see one of their most popular tunes hit the 10-digit mark, a strange feat that no artist aims to snag, but which is a sign that their art is still immensely popular even after they are gone,” the publication said.
Four men were arrested last year in connection with his killing. As reported by The Sauce, the 20-year-old faced 15 felony charges at his time of death including aggravated battery of a pregnant woman.
In January 2019, The Sauce also reported that seven months after the death of XXXTentacion, Jenesis Sanchez, the late rappers’ girlfriend has given birth to a boy named Gekyume Onfroy.
